Adding programs to your device
Programs bundled with your device at the factory are stored in ROM (read-only memory).
You cannot remove these programs, and you'll never accidentally lose ROM contents.
ROM programs can be updated using special installation programs with a *.xip
extension. All other programs and data files installed to your device after factory
installation are stored in RAM (random access memory). You can install any program
created for your device, as long as it has enough memory. The most popular place to find
software for your device is on the Pocket PC Web site http://www.microsoft.com/
windowsmobile/pocketpc/default.mspx. You can add programs to your device either by
using ActiveSync or by downloading the program from the Internet.
To add programs using ActiveSync:
Before installing a program on your device, you must first install the appropriate software
for your device on your computer.
1 Determine your device and processor type so that you know which version of the
software to install.
(a) Tap , then Settings.
(b) On the System tab, tap About .
(c) On the Version tab, make a note of the processor information.
2 Download the program to your computer (or insert the CD or disk that contains the
program into your computer).
You may see a single *.xip, *.exe, or *.zip file, a Setup.exe file, or several versions
of files for different device types and processors. Be sure to select the program
designed for a Pocket PC and your device’s processor type.
NOTE: Read any installation instructions, Read Me files, or documentation that come with the program.
Many programs provide special installation instructions.

7 Getting Connected
You can use your MC35 to exchange information with other mobile devices and connect
to your computer, a network, or the Internet. You have the following connection options:
•Use the infrared (IR) port on your device to send and receive files from
another IR-enabled device.
•Use Bluetooth to beam information such as files, appointments, tasks,
calendar events and contacts, between devices that have Bluetooth
capabilities. You can also use Bluetooth to print to a Bluetooth printer and
create a connection between your device and a Bluetooth phone to use the
phone as a modem.
Once connected to the another Bluetooth enabled device or computer, you
can locate and use any of the services available on the device.
•Use WiFi networking to connect to a computer, access the Internet, send
and receive email and files.
Your wireless service provider will provide the needed information for a
successful connection.
•Connect to your mobile Internet service provider (ISP). Once connected, you
can send and receive email messages by using Messaging and view Web or
WAP pages by using Internet Explorer Mobile.
The communication software for creating an ISP connection is already
installed on your device. Your service provider will provide software needed
to install other services, such as paging and fax services.
•Connect to the virtual private network (VPN) at the company or organisation
where you work. Once connected, the added security of a VPN means that
you can access the full resources of your company’s network. For example,
you can use File Explorer to access the files of computers on that network.
